19. Years ago, the grandkids spent the night

We'd kept the older one, but not both. They were maybe 3 and 2. Older one told his sister I would make waffles. She was delighted and several times on several days said I was going to make waffles. The big morning arrived and I made waffles. The little girl was beside herself, basically chanting "waffles, waffles, waffles." When I set their plates down in front of them, she looked at it and said, "That's a waffle? "
I still laugh.

Have fun. They grow up really fast.
